THE FORMIDABLE SON-IN-LAW: THE CHARISMATIC LUCAS GRAY

Chapter 498 - Cant Wait To Meet



Chapter 498: Can’t Wait To Meet

The Ocean Bathhouse, which formerly belonged to the Taylors, was now still in Lucas’s hands, and he had yet to find out the origins of those mysterious beauties.

If he wasn’t worried about alerting the Taylors and causing him to lose the clues, he would have long seized and destroyed a dirty family like the Taylors.

Ethan naturally understood that Lucas had nothing to fear from the Taylors, given his background and strength. After some thought, he nonetheless reminded softly, “Mr. Gray, the Taylors are actually not as simple as they seem on the surface. Although the Taylor family isn’t the top family of the four major families in Orange County, and they even allowed me to take the title of being the richest person in Orange County, much of their power is hidden. And it’s very likely that they’re far more powerful than the Sawyers, Brookes, and Wallaces!”

Lucas immediately thought of the mysterious organization that sent beautiful women to the Taylors.

“Is it because of the influence of that mysterious organization behind the Taylors?” Lucas asked with a frown.

Ethan was surprised. “Mr. Gray, do you also know about the organization behind the Taylors?”

Lucas nodded. Bruce Hale had told him before that the mysterious organization had done a flawless job in dealing with those trying to investigate them, and it had even deterred the Brookes and other families. This was why no one knew its exact identity even after so many years.

“Do you know where this mysterious organization comes from?” Lucas asked.

Ethan shook his head regretfully. “I couldn’t find out, and they’ve only ever had contact with the Taylors. The rest of us tried to investigate their details, but we all failed in the end and received a stern warning instead. In the past few years, this mysterious force has never appeared again.

“However, when I say that the Taylors’ power shouldn’t be underestimated, I mean that it very likely has something to do with this mysterious force behind them. For more than a decade, the Taylors were just a small second or third-rate family in Orange County, but they’ve now become one of the four major families alongside us.”

Ethan sighed. “In fact, becoming one of the four major families of Orange County is possible only with a certain power behind you. For example, the Wallaces managed to do so only because they are good friends with the Kingstons, from whom they’ve received a lot of help. For my family, we’ve also managed to rise to this level because of the help we got from Mr. Kennedy of the Huttons. As for the Brookes, it’s because of their ancestors, so they had a head start.

“The Taylors are the only ones who started with a weak foundation and didn’t have a clear supporter. The reason they managed to be one of the four major families is also due to the help of this mysterious force. Therefore, the power the Taylors have shown on the surface doesn’t represent their true strength.

“So, Mr. Gray, you have to be very careful when dealing with the Taylors,” Ethan advised earnestly.

After hearing Ethan’s words, Lucas fell into deep thought.

Among the four great families of Orange County, the Brookes were the only family that rose to become one of the four great families by relying entirely on their own strength and heritage.

Ethan managed to get Chad’s help only because they were longtime friends, and the relationship between the Sawyers and Chad probably didn’t have to be maintained with money and interests.

Since the Wallaces obtained help from the Kingstons, the Wallaces probably also gave some benefits to the Kingstons, though they might not be much.

Only the Taylors had risen to their current status with the help of the beauties whom the mysterious force had supplied to them. They were undoubtedly the most reliant on the organization, so they had to be giving a large portion of their profits over the years to the mysterious force.

But even so, the Taylors were still able to firmly occupy a position as one of the four major families, so the mysterious force was certainly of great help to them.

This force definitely wouldn’t only supply beautiful women to the Taylors.

If this organization was also supporting several other families in other cities and even other states and likewise received a portion of their revenue, how terrifying would the wealth they had amassed over the years be?

Previously, Lucas had conjectured that the mysterious organization behind the Taylors shouldn’t be a wealthy family from San Francisco. And it was even likely to be one of the eight major families of DC because only a force of this size was large enough to handle such great financial profit!

Lucas collated the information he had in his mind.

But no matter how powerful this force really was, Lucas wouldn’t be afraid at all, much less have any scruples about the Taylors because of it.

Having spoken enough and eaten his fill, Lucas looked at the time to see that it was almost 9 p.m.

He stood up and said goodbye to Ethan, “It’s getting late. Let’s stop here today!”

“Okay. Thank you for the honor, Mr. Gray! If you ever need me in the future, feel free to ask me. I am ready to risk life and limb at any time!” Ethan also hurriedly stood up with a smile and diligently sent Lucas to the entrance.

After watching Lucas get inside his car and leave, he happily brought Lena home.

Along the way, Ethan was in high spirits, as his meeting with Lucas was fruitful today and he had achieved his goals. Lucas was now closer to the Sawyers. Uh, at the very least, he was a lot less distant.

However, in contrast to Ethan’s cheery appearance, Lena was obviously much more silent than usual.

“What’s the matter, Lena? Are you not happy?” Ethan asked with concern.

Lena shook her head. “I’m really happy too. I just… feel a little tired.”

“Oh.” Ethan didn’t care too much about her attitude and merely instructed, “You must contact Lucas more in the future. You know, he…”

Halfway through his sentence, Ethan suddenly stopped. He had just momentarily forgotten that he had to keep the truth about Lucas being a Hutton under wraps for the time being, even though she was his daughter.

He coughed and rephrased his words. “Anyway, you and Lucas are about the same age, and you’re close friends with Cheyenne too. You must get closer to him.”

Lena nodded silently.

Ethan suddenly thought of another idea and looked at the youthful and pretty Lena while thinking to himself that it would be wonderful if she could be with Lucas!

Unfortunately, Lucas was already married.

Ethan couldn’t help letting out a long sigh. “Ah, it would be great if you could have met Lucas a few years earlier!”

Lena felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a knife.?Yeah, if I had met Lucas before Cheyenne did, that would be great…

Meanwhile, Lucas was driving home. When he reached the road leading to his pearl lake villa, a figure suddenly dashed out and stopped in front of his car!
